Member of Knesset Yitzhak Pindrus of United Torah Judaism stated in an interview with Arutz 7 that the party's decision not to recommend Benjamin Netanyahu for prime minister was not a rejection of the right-wing bloc, but rather a focus on finding solutions for yeshiva students. Pindrus emphasized that the partnership with the "Haredi public" remains crucial for the party, and any future negotiations would include this agenda.
Pindrus clarified that United Torah Judaism is not currently committed to any specific candidate, but rather to resolving the issue of yeshiva students, whom he described as "persecuted." He dismissed concerns that the party was being exploited to undermine Netanyahu and the right-wing bloc, stating that the party is not aligning with anyone at this stage.
When questioned about overtures from Avigdor Lieberman and Gadi Eisenkot, Pindrus noted that Netanyahu is also actively seeking support, and that the party is not yet committed to any political faction. He also indicated that the party would follow directives regarding the potential replacement of Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana.
Addressing potential cooperation with Lieberman, despite his past harsh remarks against the Haredi public, Pindrus suggested that forgiveness is possible, drawing a parallel to recent harsh statements made against his party for not recommending Netanyahu. He concluded that the party's primary goal is to achieve a resolution for yeshiva students, alongside addressing the needs of the Haredi public.
